Hello and welcome to my mom's basement presented by barstool sports and 3G. I am your host Robbie Fox and today I've got an awesome interview featuring the one the only mod son.

Mod son is lighting up the scene right now. He's kind of being lumped in with that pop punk revival scene. He doesn't fully place himself in there.

He feels very fortunate to be placed in that. I mean we'll get to it in the interview. I don't need to give away his answers now.

But before we get into it I'm going to tell everyone about 3G the industry leader in Delta 8th. I tell you guys weekend and week out that I swear by this stuff I use it every day.

I've got my 3G pen with me now I bring it everywhere I go I bring the edibles on flights with me I love taking them before bed the cereal treats the brownies the cookies all of it.

3G is the best in the industry the best in the market because they basically invented the industry if you go to 3G.com right now use the promo code mmb you'll get 5% off your complete order now let's get into this interview with mod son welcome back to my mom's basement ladies and gentlemen I am here with mod son is promoting the internet killed the rock star tour kicking off this September and supporting the internet killed the rock star.

Album that you put out earlier this year features you'll return to the genre that you kicked off your musical journey in finally out kick ass how are you mods on.

That's the entire life I woke up this morning I like to take things day by day I'm in the middle of doing some really really dream come true kind of projects right now so I'm feeling good I'm feeling very inspired very very very inspired for the future.

That's awesome and I just mentioned the tour kicks off next month have you been able to get on stage in front of a crowd since things open back up or will that be next month no no I haven't at all I was actually I was actually the middle of the tour when the pandemic started and I had to I was about a week and a half two weeks in.

And I had to come back home right when it hit and this whole new album was made while the pandemic was going on and like the really beautiful thing about this album that I got to make is that I kind of win into it in the head space of being like I'm going to make this to be performed you know I'm saying for like the first time ever I was in the studio really being conscious about what this.

Music will be like performed live you know so this is like the part this this is finally the album that I made to 100% match my live show and it's interesting you put it out in February we saw some artists that just hit the ground running once the pandemic it and they're put down music putting stuff out like yourself and then some people waited to hold their music back before like right before they could say go on tour the decision to put your music out in February was that just you wanted people to hear it or.

Where did that come from.

That's a really great question um I felt like people really needed new music while this was going on and maybe I felt like it'd be a little selfish of me to not be giving people art is such an escape from reality period you know and I think music for me is that um and I guess I felt I mean I'm just now this this is this is a really great question because I'm.

Actually just now thinking about that I think subconsciously I was thinking that the world needed are more than ever at that time you know and I guess that's what encouraged my decision also like my instincts were telling me to to release it you know um and I honestly I guess like the smart thing to do would have been if like I was listening to suits with my brain is like a little bit.

to do would have been if like I was listening to suits, which I actually cannot stand at all,

would have been to hold it until you go on tour so you can be with this momentum.

My instincts always tell me what to do and they were telling me the opposite. It was like

the world needs this like and and and you got to I follow my instincts not to suits, you know.

It seemed like it paid off. I mean your pandemic like felt like that was your real blowup.

Would you agree with that? Yeah, honestly. I mean 100% like I mean my the numbers.
